From October 6 - 10, 2014 the " International Student Conference on Micro Technology 2014” will take place at IMTEK - Department of Microsystems Engineering ( University of Freiburg ). The conference is tailored for students of engineering and natural sciences in their final years of study and for young PhD students. The international student conference provides a rich program with high-profile speakers and attractive prizes.
IMTEK hosts the second dissemination workshop of the European-Japanese Project EUJO-LIMMS funded by the EU and the JSPS. EUJO-LIMMS is a cooperation project between IMTEK, the Institute of Industrial Science (IIS) of the University of Tokyo, VTT (Finland) and EPFL (Switzerland). The workshop will feature oral presentations by the project partners, surrounded by a poster lunch session and an evening reception. The workshop is open to all those interested.
IMTEK members as co-authors: K. Seidl, Prof. O. Paul, Dr. P. Ruther
